Spring Has Sprung… Finally.

Ah, it has been four months too long. Not going to dwell on the splendor that Spring Training brings since I’m sure everyone knows my thoughts on that by now, but I just wanted to point out that this photo is awesome:

I am the Nostradamus of crass commercialism

Hey, remember this?

Yeah, I was right.

Better late than never

Recently, I have undertaken a quest to grow into a more responsible adult. In the past few weeks, I have begun reading books recreationally (right now, I am reading Herman Wouk’s Don’t Stop The Carnival), and I have even been to get my oil changed for the first time in a year and a half.

My most recent achievement, however unpleasant it is, was a trip to the dentist for the first time in seven years. I won’t bore you with the details of my cross bite and oral hygiene, but I would like to take this opportunity to say that this guy is my doctor. I didn’t go into the office thinking that I would meet the Doogie Howser of dentistry.

I guess he went on his journey to grown-up life a smidgen earlier than I did. My bad.
